National Eyewear Day 2023: Date, History, Facts, Activities

The glasses have evolved from a “geek necessity” to a “fashion accessory.” National Eyewear Day invites us to celebrate the reality that, in addition to correcting our vision, glasses can help us achieve a completely new look. Many of us wear non-prescription glasses because we simply enjoy the way they make us appear.

The glad tidings? Today, virtually limitless options exist for designs, shapes, and hues.

The background of National Eyewear Day

In addition, technology has eternally altered the mechanics of eyewear. Thanks to liquid crystal-activated sensors on the frame, new “smart” prescription lenses can now alter focus automatically from far to near and back again. National Eyewear Day on June 6 reminds us to reflect on how far we’ve come since the days of trifocals.

No matter if it’s a book, a screen, or road signs, eyewear improves our vision. Without eyewear, life would be a haze for some of us.Our eyes contain muscles, and the more we stretch them to see – for example, by squinting – the more long-term harm we cause. Glasses (and contacts!) can help maintain our eye health for many years.Additionally, children’s eyewear has evolved into amusing shapes, sizes, and hues. This is a tremendous aid in overcoming any perceived stigma at a young age.
